The future of software
is purpose-built

Software should be simple, fast, and beautiful. You get there when building with user feedback in mind, but most feedback is buried in the customer support tool.

That's why we're building a support tool that purpose-built around Linear and help you make all feedback visible for the product team.

We started in 2021 as the first feedback tool built on Linear and evolved it into the first system that lets you handle your entire customer support and feedback in one place.

Team and investors

After bootstrapping to hundreds of users, we raised $825k from world-class founders and investors to speed things up and help us build a really enjoyable, beautiful, and fast support tool.

Our story

Hey, I'm Raphael. I founded Productlane after 7 years as a product designer in high-growth software companies.

There was always the same problem:
User feedback was invisible in the company. It was hidden in the support tool or on a feedback portal.

And when I did user interviews to collected insights, there was no simple way to share those with engineers, or influence the roadmap.

Feedback was buried in too many different tools, and we built the wrong features as a result.

When I had the same problem in the 3rd company, I decided to quit my job and start Productlane.

I had the hypothesis that feedback only becomes visible when it's linked to the issue tracker, so I started building a feedback tool around Linear, when they just launched out of beta.

The MVP was ready within 3 months and I was really nervous to launch it to the public…

15/02/2022. Launch day.

15/02/2022. Launch day.

The launch was successful. There was a need for a tool that makes feedback and support visible across the company.

Today, the product has matured, and we evolved it into a customer support tool that's optimized for handling all kinds of customer requests around Linear, and we're the leading feedback tool for companies on Linear.

Today, the product has matured, and every day, new companies start to manage user feedback and handle their entire customer support with Productlane.

Our mission is to build the new standard for customer support and help teams build world-class products. We'd love to have you join us on this journey.

We're growing fast and are looking for folks who value design and want to ship.
